Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - John 16:1-33

Shall we turn to John's gospel, chapter 16.Now, these words in the sixteenth chapter have to be understood with the background as Jesus has been in the upper room with His disciples. He has told them as He had the Lord's supper with them that He would not drink of the fruit of the vine until He drank it anew in the kingdom. After supper, He has washed their feet, giving to them an example of what the ministry is all about; it's that of a servant. And then there in the upper room He speaks to... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - John 16:1-33

John 16:1 . These things have I spoken, that ye should not be offended, so as to stumble and shrink back from the cause in which you are engaged. Expulsion from the synagogue was to a jew next to death, being accounted an expulsion from the covenant of mercy, and from the paradise of God. John 16:6 . Because I have said these things, sorrow hath filled your heart. The disciples were so astounded at the extended view of their persecutions, and at the departure of their Lord, that they... read more

John 16:25-28These things have I spoken unto you in proverbsChrist in heaven, the Church on earthI.CHRIST IN HEAVEN. 1. As the Revealer of the Father. He came to be this here, and did reveal the Father, but chiefly in parables, figures, dark sayings. There was a sort of veil over what He said regarding the Father. But when He departed, all that dimness went. From Pentecost there was the plain and full revelation of the Father. This the Epistles contain. There may be in them things hard to be... read more

John 16:26-27I say not unto you that I will pray the Father for youNo need of an intercessorOur Lord would teach that the Father is ready to receive our petitions directly, because He loveth us.We have here I. A NEW CONCEPTION OF GOD. 1. New to the Jew with his elaborate sacrificial and mediatorial scheme. 2. New to us who, conscious of sin and of God’s anger against it, could never have hoped that He would view us in any other light but that of aliens. II. THE ANXIETY OF OUR HEAVENLY FATHER TO... read more

John 16:28I came forth from the FatherFrom the Father and to the FatherThese majestic and strange words are the proper close of our Lord’s discourse, what follows being rather a reply to the disciples’ exclamation.I. THE DWELLING WITH THE FATHER. The most probable reading is more forcible. “I came forth out of the Father” implies a far deeper and closer relation than even that of juxtaposition, companionship, or outward presence. In these words there is involved that, during His earthly life,... read more

John 16:29-32Now speakest Then plainlyThe disciples’ confession and the Master’s warningThe first words of these discourses were, “Let not your heart be troubled.” The aim of all was to bring peace and confidence to the disciples. And this joyful burst shows that the aim has been reached. The last sublime utterance had gathered all the scattered rays into a beam so bright that the blindest could not but see, and the coldest could not but be warmed But yet the calm, clear eye of Christ sees... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - John 16:31

John 16:31Do ye now believe?Love’s farewellI. A KIND INQUIRY (John 16:31). A question. 1. Authoritative. Put by Him who alone has a right to do so. 2. Necessary. The existence of faith (John 9:35; Mark 4:40) the one thing needful (Luke 18:8; Hebrews 11:6). 3. Urgent. Then the time was short--Christ was on the eve of departure. Now the time is short (1 Corinthians 7:29)--The Lord is at hand Philippians 4:5; James 5:8). 4. Personal. The question was addressed to the disciples individually. So... read more
